Oregon starting tight end Pharaoh Brown was suspended for his role in a snowball fight, the school announced on Monday. The Oregonian firstreported the news.

Brown will miss the Alamo Bowl for his role in the incident, which was caught on video and showed Oregon football players among a group of close to 100 students hitting cars and drivers with snowballs last Friday. Images also show players dumping containers of snow on vehicle windshields.

Oregon coach Mark Helfrich announced that his players are facing "disciplinary actions" for participating in a snowball fight that went viral on the Internet, labeling the student-athletes' actions as "unacceptable and dangerous."

Brown, a 6-foot-6 sophomore, has 10 catches in nine games for 123 yards and two touchdowns this season. Two drivers caught in the snowball fight said over the weekend they will not press charges.

Oregon linebacker Andre Yruretagoyena later apologized on Twitter, though he did not specify if he's apologizing for a teammate or his fellow students.

No. 12 Oregon plays Texas in the Alamo Bowl on Dec. 30 in San Antonio. The university is holding final exams this week.
